1994 Mazda Miata
presented by
Our 1994 R-package Miata is one of the fastest examples of Mazda’s little roadster we’ve ever driven, and we’ve driven quite a few of them. We’ve taken this car a step or two beyond stock, however, by adding a Flyin’ Miata FMII turbo kit.
The car now proudly lays down 238 horsepower to the rear wheels thanks to a Garrett GT2560R turbo. This water-cooled, ball-bearing turbo happily compresses the intake air charge to about 12 psi in its current state of tune. The Flyin Miata FMII kit has developed to the point that it provides a very high power level with a broad torque curve to match, making an extremely drivable little beast, even on the otherwise stock Miata suspension components. We’ll work on developing a suspension solution that will suit the car’s newfound power over the coming months.
Ultimately, the car is intended to put the “street” back into the SCCA’s Street Modified class at the Solo National Championships. We’re curious to see just how well a truly street-driven car can do against a field of thinly-disguised racers.

huh?If you're reading this, you've probably seen these odd links with funny names somewhere on the site and want to know what they're all about. Well, prepare to feel a bit more Net savvy. Those links are what the geeks call "social networks."
Social networking sites allow you to store and share links and pages across the Internet. It's like taking your bookmarks list and being able to see it from any computer.
Even better, social networks allow you to steer friends, relatives, colleagues and pretty much anyone else to the cool stuff you've found, so they have something better to do online than watching the skateboarding squirrel video on YouTube for the thirtieth time. You're making the world a better place.
The only catch is that while all the social networks are free, you do have to register. Each site has a slightly different focus, so take a look through the links and see which service suits you best.
